Scheduling

I often get questions from new clients about the most common frequency, duration, and length of sessions for counseling. Much of this will depend on your schedule & preference, but I recommend beginning with weekly sessions. Meeting once a week enables us to engage in productive work each session while remaining current on progress made between appointments. I find weekly sessions to be most helpful and effective for creating change within a shorter amount of time.

Bi-weekly sessions are great alternatives for clients who are concerned about the financial investment of weekly sessions, although it might take a longer period of time to see the same amount of progress. This option is also effective after significant work has been completed and you are looking to maintain and continue progress in a less-intensive format.

The length of therapy is entirely up to you! I will help you in identifying concerns, goals, and areas of growth you would like to focus on, and we will discuss what progress you would like to see during counseling. Some clients attend counseling for a few months, while some prefer to commit to longer treatment to work on deeper issues or just to have someone to “check in” with from time to time. You decide for yourself what is most beneficial, and I’ll be there to help you achieve those goals.

Cancellation/No-Show Policy

Late cancellations and no-shows negatively impact my schedule and income, as I am unable to offer those appointment times to other clients at the last minute. Therefore, I ask that clients provide at least 24 hours notice if they need to cancel a session so that I can adjust my schedule accordingly.

Sessions that are cancelled without 24 hours notice will be subject to a Late Cancellation fee of $25.00. Clients who miss a session due to a no-show (no advance notice given) will be charged the full cost of the session. I do understand that illnesses and emergencies happen, so these fees may be waived on a case-by-case basis.
